Body for Life Update - Week 6 (The Goal Edition)

Posted by Erich on February 26th, 2007

Having just finished week six, marks the half-way point in my Body for Life experiment. It definitely hasn’t gone as well as I initially expected. Either that or my measurements are way off. I’ve calculated that I’ve lost a total of 4 lbs of body fat and gained 2 lbs of muscle. I guess that’s [...]

Body for Life - Week 4 & 5 Update

Posted by Erich on February 22nd, 2007

These last two weeks have been a roller coaster ride. Last week, my first baby was born, which was nothing less of a miracle. And on top of this new addition to our family, I’ve recently started a new job which has taken a lot of time away from updating this site. With all these [...]

The Secret

Posted by Erich on February 18th, 2007

If you follow the Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, or even the Larry King Live show, you may have noticed they all recently did a show featuring a DVD called, The Secret. This evening, I just finished watching it online and have to say that it was well worth the 90 minutes. It is a [...]

Taking 100% Responsibility for your own Success

Posted by Erich on February 15th, 2007

There is a pervasive myth that has slowly spread in American culture within the past few decades, which is the sense that we are entitled to a successful life. Things like a successful marriage, a great job providing all the benefits we need, 1.3 kids and a white picket fence to boot - all [...]

The Gift of Life

Posted by Erich on February 13th, 2007

Yesterday, my wife gave birth to a beautiful 6 pound baby girl. Our first baby. I’ve had the opportunity to travel all over the world, sky dive from 17,500 feet, scuba dive, hike Mount Fuji and live in a self-built shelter out in the woods for a month, and none of those experiences measure up [...]

How to Make Money from the Internet - An Old Way Revisited

Posted by Erich on February 12th, 2007

Do you guys remember AllAdvantage back in the late 90s? It was a site that basically paid you to surf the Internet. What was even better was that it paid you for the surfing time of those you referred as well, down to 4 levels. It had great success, signing up more than 10 million [...]

How to Use Your Future to Propel Your Present

Posted by Erich on February 9th, 2007

One of the unique endowments we have as human beings is the ability to imagine ourselves outside of the now. This can be just as inhibiting as it is facilitating though. Forever stuck in the past, there are some of us who squander our time reminiscing our “glory days” when we should be focusing on [...]

Body for Life - Week 3 Update

Posted by Erich on February 6th, 2007

Although I lost around 2 pounds and another percentage of body fat, I’m still not satisfied with the pace of the results. For some reason, I would think that I should be having quicker results. It must be from competing in Jiu-Jitsu where, like collegiate wrestling, we went to some pretty extreme measures to lose [...]

Overcoming Procrastination with Preparation and Planning

Posted by Erich on February 5th, 2007

What I’ve come to learn is that people don’t simply put things off, postpone, or procrastinate because of a lack of purpose, but rather a lack of preparation and planning. We’ve all experienced this: We know what it is that we want, where it is we want to go, but because we don’t know how [...]

The Emotional Bank Account

Posted by Erich on February 2nd, 2007

When it comes to improving and maintaining our relationships with others, Stephen Covey’s metaphor of the Emotional Bank Account is probably one of the most powerful ideas ever created for the development of interpersonal relationships. If you’ve never heard of this, it basically means that anyone with whom we have a relationship with, whether [...]
